Chapter 30: Remembering the Past (1)
Early in the morning, Li sat in front of the computer and kept typing and browsing the web, taking a sip of coffee from time to time to refresh himself. There were two knocks on the door, and he looked up, "Please come in." Fu Bo pushed the door in: "Young master, you look for me." ”
Li stood up and helped Fu Bo pull out the chair, smiled and said, "Fu Bo, sit, I have something I want to ask you." ”
Fu Bo nodded, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to ask about the Five Elements Technique in Japan that the old man said in his letter?" ”
"Hehe, you still understand it as you see it all the time."
"Hehe, I've grown up a lot of years and experienced a lot of things. You've worked so hard to dig a nail into your enemy's interior that you won't stop there. Okay, I'll tell you what I knew. With that, Fauber fell into memory.
"I remember that it was the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, the year of Gengxu. I was seven years old, my family lived in Huairou, Beijing, my family had a few acres of thin fields, my life was quite rich, I added a younger sister to my family a few years ago, and the gentleman in the private school said that it was a good omen, and my children were all a good word. For this sentence, my father also brought a piece of bacon to my husband as a thank you gift, which made me greedy for a long time. ”
"In the summer of June, it was rumored in the countryside that the Tartars were in Datong because the emperor killed the envoys, and they were in Datong again, and the village was lamenting that the people of Datong had suffered again, and I am afraid that this time I can't be good, and at the same time I am glad that I am at the feet of the Son of Heaven, although I may not be able to see the face of the sky, and my safety must be guaranteed."
"In August, the big guys are starting to prepare for the August Festival, who would have thought that disaster is coming. The Tartar army came in from Gubeikou, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil along the way, and my father hid my mother and sister in the cellar at home and dragged me up the mountain. ”
Speaking of this, Fauber's hand trembled slightly, Li reached out from the side to hold it tightly, Fauber nodded at Li with a smile, wiped the corner of his eye with his other hand, and continued. "The leader of the team who came to our village was a veteran, and as soon as he entered the village, he instructed his men to keep an eye on the cellars of each family. And so the beasts began their bestiality. The cellars from house to house were opened, and the men were hacked to death with a knife, and the women were directly insulted on the spot, and then hacked to death after the fact. Seeing that my house was about to be searched, my father finally couldn't help it, and turned back to me and said, "Ah Fu, our family can't do without it, you stay here and don't move, and wait for the imperial army to come back and then go down." After saying that, he went down the mountain with a hoe, and finally died at home with his mother and sister. "I waited in the mountains for a day and a night, and I didn't wait for the army of the imperial court, and then I fainted from hunger. When I woke up, I saw a Taoist chief in his twenties, who left me water and dry food, looked at the village down the mountain, and asked me, "Son, is your home down there?" I nodded. Do you want revenge? I nodded again. Good boy, you are watching here, and your uncle is avenging you. "As soon as I saw a flower in front of my eyes, the chief appeared at the entrance of the village, and I saw the chief draw his sword from behind his back, and began to kill them one by one from the entrance of the village, no matter how many Tartars, no matter how powerful the Tartar generals, the chief cut off their heads one by one. And the Tartars, whether they used knives or arrows, did not hurt the Dao chief in the slightest. Finally, the Tartar killed by the Taoist chief was also afraid, I saw the Tartar leader leading two followers to sneak to the entrance of the village to get on the horse and run, the Taoist pointed to the sky, a well-mouthed thunderbolt chopped the three Tartars, and the rest of the Tartars all kowtowed and begged for mercy, but the Taoist did not leave any of them, and the one who killed was called a happy one. "I went down the mountain, knelt in the pool of blood of the villagers and the Tartars and kowtowed to the Taoist chief nine times, the Taoist chief did not stop me, sighed and said: 'You and I are destined, but your qualifications are limited, you can't learn my spells, you can only be a wrestler, are you willing?' Since then, I have been traveling all over the world with my master. "Later, I heard from the master that I learned that the master was expelled from the mountain gate, just because when the master was in charge of the library, a thief stole a secret book of spells." "Originally, the master wanted to abolish his spells, but the master's master begged bitterly to let the master find the secret book with the body of guilt, but the master said that his master secretly told him before going down the mountain, let him not look for it, and go as far as possible. Under the repeated questioning of the master, the ancestor told him that the thief came to worship the mountain, and the worship post he brought with him had the emperor's private seal." "Back then, the relationship between Emperor Jiajing and Longhu Mountain, whether this matter was true or not, could not be verified by the emperor, and being responsible for it was somewhat a disaster for the mountain gate, so the master who guarded the library at that time could only be pushed out as a scapegoat."
There was a crisp snapping sound, and Fauber stopped and looked at Li, seeing that his face did not change and his face was harmless, he knew that he was thinking about some bad trick again. "Uh-huh." , Fu Bo coughed, and said eloquently: "Since the master left a book for you and asked you to return the secret book, it means that his old man has let go of that grievance, and it is against the master's original intention to make extraneous branches." ”
Li embarrassedly tidied up the dust on his clothes, looked at Fu Bo's vigilant eyes, and quickly clarified: "No, no, that's also my teacher, hehe, Fu Bo, you continue." ”
Fu Bo glanced at him helplessly, except to pray that this kid would be less harmful to Longhu Mountain at that time, there was no other way, so he continued. "At that time, the lord was also young and vigorous, along the way there was no less chivalrous righteousness, demon and demon extermination, along the way rarely met opponents, for a time also felt that the world could go, and finally came to the capital, coinciding with the Tartars into the Kou, so there was the previous scene. Later, the old man entered the city, and with the identity of Longhu Mountain, he also found a lot of clues, and finally targeted a monk from Fusang. "This monk is called Guoxin, who claims to admire the style of the Central Plains and came to study. And said that he had mastered some subtle spells, and wanted to try one or two with the masters of Middle-earth. This aroused the interest of Emperor Jiajing, so the emperor ordered the dragon and tiger mountain in the palace to worship and compete with him, and the heart of the three battles were lost, and since then the Central Plains Taoism has been highly respected. "It is said that this monk is very intelligent, and he is used to speculating on people's hearts, and he is very happy to coax the emperor, but there is a large inner worship to watch from the side, and there is no chaos." Later, the monk said that he wanted to go to the Taoist holy place to pay respects, but the emperor did not notice it for a while, and used a seal on his prayer post. This also led to the later incident of stealing books in Longhu Mountain. "We waited in the capital for a while, and found that the fruity monk had not returned, and the master guessed that this guy must have known that the matter had been revealed and had returned to China. So, my lord took me to find a way to chase me to Japan. Due to the Ming Dynasty's ban on the sea, the lord wandered around the beach for a long time, and then simply went to the south and hijacked a pirate ship to Japan. "When I came to Japan, my lord inquired about the traces of this fruit-hearted monk, and later found the Kofukuji Temple he said in the palace, only to find out that he had already been expelled by the temple because of his belief in the cult." "The two of us searched around Japan and finally found his traces. It is rumored that he took refuge in a daimyo named Matsunaga Shu. The lord took me to the fiefdom of the daimyo Xinguishan Castle, and finally found the monk. "That night, I remember it was a full moon night, and the lord told me to stay in the hotel and not to go with me. I'm also afraid that the low level of kung fu will affect the master, so I waited for news in the hotel. When it was almost dawn, the old man came back, and as soon as he entered the house, he spat blood and dragged me out. "Later, I learned that the monk's original evil arts were quite accomplished, especially in illusion, and he must have premeditated his defeat in three battles in the palace. However, the master said that fortunately, the Five Elements Technique he stole was in conflict with his own evil arts, and he couldn't cultivate it, otherwise I was afraid that the master would not be able to come back. Although he couldn't defeat him, the old man also hit him hard with the forbidden technique at the end, and recaptured the first half of the Five Elements Technique. “
Fauber paused, looked at Dana, and said, "This is the Five Elements technique you practice, although your understanding of the Five Elements has entered the room, but there is no good way to cast the method, I think, this is also the reason why the master asked you to go to Japan in the letter." ”
Li nodded silently and said to Fu Bo: "Fu Bo, since you have said this, let's talk about the rest of the matter, so that we can know more about the master and his old man." ”
Fauber smiled and nodded, "It's okay, don't talk about it anymore, I'm afraid I'll forget this old bone of mine." ”
